Here is a video below. Makes it look like you can remove ignition switch without a key and handlebars will be free until you turn them all the way to the left. Turning bars all the way left will lock them.

You can remove the switch in any position. Just try not to move it while it's out. I never remove mine in the locked position. I have the handlebars in the straight position hen I remove it.

That looks like it should work. Measure tip width it should measure 5/16".

As luck would have it I was over at my dads this morning and spotted a piece of 1/4 copper tubing on the wall. I made a tool just like shown on the video now I just have to put some paint finishing touches on my fairing cap and then I will reinstall. Thanks everyone for your help.
